I've heard good things about the Corima 3 spoke wheelChookman wrote:i have a Corima 3 spoke on the front for racing TT's and they are a nice wheel and strong enough train on; however i don't think there is a clincher version available and unless you have heaps of $ would you really want to train on tubulars?open roader wrote:Cheers Chookman
I should have been more specific.
I want to train on these wheels - non competitive. I want to know how they might be suited / inappropropriate to use in a regular road bike frame on flatter terrain.
How much would one set me back ?

What's the difference between 3 spoke and 4 spoke, performance wise?

I want to shout myself a pair of carbon wheels to run on my C50 for flatter terrain. I'll take any aero benefits I can get when I get moving fast enough to make it work but I freely admit I just love the look of these......... and I can't afford 1/3 rd more $ for MadFiber......

sorry to butt in, but has anyone heard of 'shock' carbon wheels? http://www.shockcarbon.com.au/carbon-wheels.html
im looking to buy my first set of TT wheels and just wanting to get opinions.. (i have been looking at the 88mm)
they are based in Australia and look suspiciously cheap..
Thanks!

Nice wheels! They are Chinese made rims and I wouldn't be suspicious regarding the price. If you do a search on Aliexpress, you'll find dozens of suppliers with similar wheels for around the same $ or less.rovill wrote:Hey everyone

AFAIK you are allowed to run 3 or 4 spoke wheels in a TT here in Australia. There is at least one guy in my club that runs a tri-spoke front wheel and he does open races as well and to my knowledge noone has ever challenged him about it.
Edit: TLL was asking about TTT, not ITT. Dunno the answer to that, very rarely does anyone from my club do TTT though the option is there at every club TT if you want to. I'm doing an ITT (optional TTT) later on today, I'll ask the Commissaire.

Maybe they call a team TT a "mass-start" race?toolonglegs wrote:Here we're not allowed to use three or four spoke wheels in team time trials. Only in solo time trials can we use them. I am not sure if that is a standard regulation worldwide or not.

At the 2011 Masters ITT championships, a number of us (including me) got pinged for the bikes being too long and they weighed them. But no one got pinged on the wheels

There is no regulation in TT events that prevents use of a front disk.mikesbytes wrote:In other words, if your racing in Aus, as long as they are round and the front one isn't a disk, then you can use them.

I doubt the bikes were too long. The bar set up however may have extended too far forward of the BB.

Yeh, that's what I meant, the bars were too long
The problem I had was that the bars were not adjustable, so they let me race anyway

I am after a good but budget front TT wheel that can be ridden in windy conditions.
I thimk a depth of between 40 and 60mm is what i need?
I have an 88 mm chinese one but it dangerous in the wind and i find most races i choose to run my roadie front purely for stability and confidence.
With a budget of around 500 what are some options?

Should be able to find a front 404 within your budget.
